qs933 - Thanks for the update. I'll be making the 30 minute trip (haha) out to HNL next weekend w/the family for our quarterly Oahu vacation as soon as school lets out. I've never driven the HR-V so I'm hoping to get one of those to see how it compares to the CR-V. On the other hand if I see the new Chrysler Pacifica I'll probably get that instead. I've seen that one at LIH but not at HNL yet.
